Looking for Jesus
Why were they looking for Jesus? What was the motive? Were they expecting the messiah to show up or were they looking for more miraculous entertainment? Good Jews came to Jerusalem for Passover. It doesn’t seem the people grasp what’s going on with Jesus. His status as a threat to the establishment. The plot to remove his influence. Jesus creates a lot of curiosity for people who want him to show up in their place. In this case the Jews are in their temple preparing for their ceremony. Will Jesus show up? Will he come and fit in with us? No one goes looking for Jesus. In the early days they did. Maybe some still would, but not on Passover. No one wants to go looking for Jesus in the middle of their party.
